Have a holly jolly Christmas
It's the best time of the year
Well
I don't know if there'll be snow
But have a cup of cheer
Have a holly jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know
And everyone you meet
Ho ho the mistletoe
Hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her once for me
Have a holly jolly Christmas
And in case you didn't hear
Oh, by golly
Have a holly jolly Christmas
This year
Have a holly jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know
And everyone you meet
Have a holly jolly Christmas
And in case you didn't hear
Oh, by golly
Have a holly jolly Christmas

Your little one will sure think she has dropped in to Wonderland! What a feast for the eyes of a youngster! A mantle with all the dreams of childhood - candy, Santa, Sugarplums, gingerbread men! And you know what? Adults are pretty awed by it too!

Shelia, you just make me smile when I visit! Little Carter will LOVE this mantel! This brings back all the memories and wonderment of when my girls were little! You have done a great job!! And, as an adult, I'm pretty smitten with it, too!

That mantel wins First Prize, I'm not kidding, and your little Carter is going to flip when she sees it! I didn't know they were coming for Christmas but I'm really thrilled to hear this great news - what fun you will have with your baby girl there! Now make that lady elf behave and watch your C's please. Hugs ~ Mary

I think Carter is going to LOVE all these adorable decorations! Your C's add up to a charming and cute Christmas (3 c's). I'm spending Christmas with my Tiger at his new home and I'm so excited! hugs, Linda

I'm thinking it is all pure Cuteness! I saw you little elf but I didn't know they made girls this year! Oh my...I know someone who will want one...ME! heehee! I have some of the old ones that I cherish! Sweet hugs!

She is going to LOVE it and so do I!!!!! I love all the different ribbons, the Christmas balls all lined up and the cute elf! That wreath is terrific too. I bet there will be alot of OOOHing and AHHHHHing!!!! XO, Pinky

Oh my friend you have absolutely outdone yourself this year. There are so many special and unique touches. I love the toys, it reminds me of how my Mama used to decorate her tree when she was able. Your grandlove will surely love it. You are such a good Grandma to decorate your house for your special baby. xxoo

Your Carter is going to love it, all of it! You did a great job and no those balls, I also call them that, don't look at all like a line of second graders! It did make me lol though at the thought! Enjoy your beautiful mantel - I enjoyed just getting to see it and will remember about doing that braid of ribbons!Love to you,Lily, WA, USA

Carter is not only going to like it, she is going to LOVE it! This is a masterpiece. SOOOOOOOOOO cute and fun! I love it!

I'm trying to figure out what my St. Augustine cottage is saying to us. It wants to be decorated, but how? I have our house downpat, but the cottage doesn't know if it wants to be nautical, country, or whimsical. Maybe all three???

I'm supposed to get a 'p;uter for Christmas, but my camera is giving me fits, too. What is a girl to do??? Anyhow, I hope to be back in the Land of Blog before too long.

Awwww, I know you must have loved every single second of creating this fun and festive mantel with Carter in mind. She's going to love it. It brings a smile to my face ... love how lush your greenery is ... the ribbons ... the fun wreath ... the sweet Santa and, of course, the Elf. What fun!

Shelia- That little Carter is going to be over the moon with all that you have done there. It is just so whimsical and fun-looking. You did a wonderful job-it looks like Toyland come to life.I bought all 4 adult kids Elf On A Shelf for Christmas this year. I just loved it. I had a hard time finding the boy ones but there were tons of the girl ones left- xo Diana

Ooooh - so cute, Shelia!!!! I just love the all of the ribbon woven into your garland. Mine NEVER looks right when I try to do that. And your wreath is to die for! Congrats on the birth of Carter! Us grandma's can all understand how there's nothing quite like grandchildren. :o)

Of course she will like it - she will be smiling from ear to ear and full of cheer (another "c") I also have a grandchild named Carter, but he's a little boy! Your mantle is so festive and makes me smile - well done!

She is gonna LOVE it, Shelia...it is so adorable and so the way I love to decorate for Christmas, too. My decorating has always been "for the grands"... having so many stockings is a prime example. :))Merry Christmas, dear heart.xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo, bj

Shelia,This is Censational..."C"!!!I'm just beyond 2 1/2 and I would be oohing and ahhing over this Christmas Mantle!!! That Gingerbread Wreath post I certainly don't want to miss!!!Be sure to play Christmas Carols for Little Carter...Burl Ives is one of my favorites from my own childhood!Fondly,Pat
